Mucinex 600 mg Tablets deliver long-lasting chest congestion relief with a clinically established expectorant in a convenient 20-tablet pack. Each extended-release bi-layer tablet contains 600 mg of guaifenesin, working to thin and loosen stubborn mucus so your coughs become more productive. Designed for adults and adolescents in the UAE, this over-the-counter formula provides up to 12 hours of relief per dose, helping you breathe easier through colds, flu, and bronchitis.

How It Works

Chest congestion happens when thick mucus collects in your airways and gets in the way of comfortable breathing. Guaifenesin, the active ingredient in Mucinex 600 mg, is an expectorant that draws water into the mucus to thin it and loosen its grip on your airways. The bi-layer tablet releases part of the dose immediately and the rest gradually, giving both fast-acting and sustained relief.

Important Information

Standard Mucinex containing guaifenesin alone is considered non-drowsy, and side effects are uncommon and usually mild. Stop use and consult a healthcare provider if your cough lasts more than 7 days, returns, or comes with fever, rash, or a persistent headache. Ask a doctor before use if you have a chronic cough or are pregnant or breastfeeding, and always consult your pharmacist about other medicines you take.

Each extended-release bi-layer tablet is built around a single, focused active ingredient:

• Guaifenesin 600 mg - the only expectorant approved for over-the-counter use, guaifenesin loosens and thins bronchial secretions so mucus clears more easily from the airways.

The bi-layer design is what sets these tablets apart. One layer dissolves quickly to start working soon after you take it, while the second layer releases slowly over the following hours. Together they maintain a steady effect across a full 12-hour window, which means fewer doses through the day compared with standard four-hourly cough remedies.

Adults and children 12 years and over: take 1 to 2 tablets every 12 hours. Do not take more than 4 tablets in any 24-hour period. Not for use in children under 12 years. Swallow each tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this can release too much medicine at once. The tablets can be taken with or without food, and drinking extra fluids helps the guaifenesin loosen mucus more effectively.
